We’re not sure why MSNBC host Touré waited so long to clear this up, and why he chose Martin Bashir’s ratings-challenged show to break news of this magnitude. The New York Times threw everyone a curve ball by introducing George Zimmerman to its readers as a “white Hispanic,” but as Touré notes, Zimmerman isn’t Hispanic at all — he’s Peruvian-American.

We’re sure to be hearing a lot more about Peruvia’s legacy of white supremacy as the rest of the media picks up the ball next week and settles the matter of Zimmerman’s race once and for all. Until then, we thank Ace for cracking open the guidebook on the wonderful and misunderstood nation.
